Please let us alone. There are too many laws, and it's not your place to "protect" us like this. Life has risks, investing is one of them.
Comments: The notion of limiting my ability to trade leveraged ETF is horrifying. This is over-reach and Big Brother at its worst. It is not for you to decide my appetite for risk.

I appreciate the ability to choose the right investment vehicle for my needs. I am educated, understand the risks, and as a small investor benefit from the unique offerings of the ProShares funds.
Hi. I am a responsible adult. I am aware of the risks and benefits of leveraged funds. I object to regulators restricting my ability to so invest. Keith Brookenthal
I have been an individual investor for 30 years. I use leveraged etf's to help myself manage risk. They serve as an important part of my investing plan.
I had to sign an agreement that stated I understood the risks and fees associated with leveraged ETFs. This should be the only requirement. Limiting investment opportunities is a government over reach.
Retail investors deserve the right and freedom to invest and take risks as any other citizen in a capitalist economy. This is blatant over reach, usually reserved for tyrannical regimes. Reject.
Remarks from the Bond Dealers Association Annual Conference
I oppose limitations on our ability to buy the Proshares or any other leveraged or inverse funds. We should be able to invest freely in whatever funds as we assume the risk.
